    Notes:
     1.   Words and expressions defined in this timetable shall bear the same meanings ascribed to them in the
          Circular distributed to Shareholders on Monday, 31 July 2023.
     2.   The above dates and times are subject to amendment at the discretion of IPF. Any such amendment will be
          released on SENS, to the extent required.
     3.   Shareholders should note that as transactions in Shares are settled in the electronic settlement system used
          by Strate, settlement of trades takes place three South African Business Days after such trade. Therefore,
          Shareholders who acquire Shares after close of trade on Tuesday, 22 August 2023 will not be eligible to
          attend, participate in and vote at the General Meeting.
     4.   All dates and times indicated above are South African Standard Time.
     5.   Shareholders are reminded that shares in companies listed on the JSE can no longer be bought or
          sold on the JSE unless they have been Dematerialised onto the Strate system. It is therefore
          suggested that Certificated Shareholders should consider Dematerialising their Shares and
          replacing them with electronic records of ownership. In this regard, Shareholders may contact either
          their own Broker or a preferred CSDP, details of which are available from Strate at 
          queries@strate.co.za or telephone +27 11 759 5300.
